description The cutting temperature in hard turning is extremely high, which reduces tool life, lowers machined-surface quality, and affects dimensional control. However, hard turning differs greatly from conventional turning in that the cutting process mainly happens at the tool-nose radius due to the extremely shallow depth of the cut. This paper provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of this issue based on an evaluation of tool geometry in hard turning via finite element analysis (FEA) simulations and experiments. The effect of tool angles on cutting temperature in hard turning is analyzed. The impacts of cutting-edge angle, rake angle, inclination angle, and average local rake angle on the cutting temperature are investigated via central composite design (CCD). The simulated results and the empirically measured cutting temperature exhibit comparable patterns, with a minor 2% difference. Increasing the cutting-edge angle, negative rake angle and negative inclination angle enhances the local negative rake angles of the cutting-edge elements at the tool-nose radius involved in the cutting process. Notably, the most important component influencing cutting temperature in hard turning is the inclination angle, as opposed to normal turning, where the rake angle dominates the heat generation. Following this is the cutting-edge angle and the rake angle, which each contribute 40.75%, 32.39%, and 7.03%. These findings could enhance the application of the hard-turning technique by improving tool life and surface quality by focusing on optimizing the inclination angle.
